through some of our most beautiful scenery. The route starts by heading northeast to Stratford St Mary, and passing down Gun Hill, one of John Constable\u2019s favourite locations. We then climb up towards Stoke by Nayland, then drop rapidly back down to Nayland. From Nayland the route follows the Suffolk side of the Stour Valley to the village of Bures crossing back into Essex.<\/p><p>From Bures we head to Pebmarsh, then turn south to White Colne. After a short distance on the main road we turn left and climb again up past Chalkney Wood \u2013 the famous (?) ancient woodland. Passing through Great Tey, we drop down to Aldham, and the cafe is at the bottom of the hill immediately after crossing the river Colne. The Shoulder of Mutton is an old pub converted into a cafe, and antique shop, with gardens backing onto the river.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7374 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/vcr-cyclingclub.wdl.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Cheesecake-1-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vcrcyclingclub.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Cheesecake-1-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.vcrcyclingclub.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Cheesecake-1-75x100.jpeg 75w, https:\/\/www.vcrcyclingclub.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Cheesecake-1-38x50.jpeg 38w, https:\/\/www.vcrcyclingclub.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Cheesecake-1-19x25.jpeg 19w, https:\/\/www.vcrcyclingclub.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Cheesecake-1.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>After the cafe there is another climb up to Fordham before dropping down to the river again and climbing up to Eight Ash Green.<\/p><p>From there the road drops again to the river (take care, and single out here as the road narrows, and is a fast car route).

anticlockwise direction. Usual route to Higham, and down Sandy Lane to Holton St Mary before turning\u00a0left to Raydon and onwards to Hadleigh passing along the High Street which is as historic as more well known Lavenham. From Hadleigh it is a steep climb up Whatfield Rd towards\u00a0Nedging Tye. From there on to Bildeston, and Hitcham before turning towards\u00a0Brent Eleigh, only a couple of bumps away to a well deserved stop at the renowned cyclist friendly Cafe Como, which has a lovely garden for a warm day.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6913 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/vcr-cyclingclub.wdl.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-220x220-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vcrcyclingclub.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-220x220-1.jpeg 220w, https:\/\/www.vcrcyclingclub.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-220x220-1-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.vcrcyclingclub.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-220x220-1-100x100.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/www.vcrcyclingclub.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-220x220-1-50x50.jpeg 50w, https:\/\/www.vcrcyclingclub.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-220x220-1-25x25.jpeg 25w, https:\/\/www.vcrcyclingclub.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-220x220-1-90x90.jpeg 90w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 220px) 100vw, 220px\" \/>\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">As so often there is a steady climb from the Cafe to get the blood flowing again, before a nice steady descent into Boxford. At the church turn left up the dead-end lane to the cut through at the end crossing the main road to Stone Street. The road here is pretty narrow with quite a lot of cars so take care on the climb. Pass the apple orchards and turn left to Stoke by Nayland. In the centre turn right and sharply downhill past the impressive church perched on the hill. The road goes through Nayland before turning up towards Boxted, and up the oddly named Burnt Dick Hill &#8211; a sharp climb so late in the ride.<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">From here it is a tootle
